Synthesia, an AI avatar startup backed by Nvidia, has raised $200 million to develop interactive AI avatars.

Synthesia, a London-based AI startup backed by Nvidia, is developing interactive audiovisual agents that can conduct conversations beyond pre-written scripts. The company, which creates digital human avatars for businesses, plans to deploy these conversational bots initially for sales training before expanding into recruiting and other corporate communications. Synthesia's existing software allows clients to convert written scripts into presentations featuring realistic video avatars. The new interactive agents represent an evolution beyond these scripted presentations, enabling the avatars to engage in dynamic conversations on specific topics. The development signals a shift towards AI-powered corporate communications, where job applicants and employees may increasingly interact with digital humans for interviews, training and onboarding processes.
